Tim Burton's Batman is a Gothic superhero movie that embraced artifice and shunned grounded reality, and it was better for it.

Star Trek: Discovery began with a mutiny by Michael Burnham, but she did far less than what another Star Trek hero did during The Original Series.

A Star Trek fan invented the "Mary Sue," and if any Discovery character fits the original it's not Michael Burnham but Sylvia Tilly. And it's great.

The Obi-Wan Kenobi series was hit-and-miss for Star Wars fans, but there are plenty of reasons why Ewan McGregor should get the Season 2 he wants.

In The Rookie, Season 6, Episode 7, "Crushed," the characters face big changes as the show tries a new visual approach for its convoluted weekly case.

Star Trek: Discovery Season 5, Episode 6 takes the crew on a classic Star Trek mission but offers a unique perspective on the Prime Directive.

Part of the fun of Doctor Who will be discovering who the Fifteenth Doctor is along the way, but the 60th Anniversary Specials gave fans many clues.

On the 40th anniversary of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, the Leonard Nimoy-directed movie is a better film than fans thought at the time.

One of the best stories featuring Batman is surprisingly found in the animated crossover with another popular comic book property owned by Paramount.

Doctor Who is 60 years old, and Ncuti Gatwa's first season is promising new monsters and heroes. However, only one person is the most important piece.
